The Audacity software is a well known piece of software which not only allows you to rip your CD’s but also allows you to add additional music to the stream. Adding music effects can be added with this software and best of all the software is free and opensource. The software is easy to use and there is a user manual for the software. The portable version which is below you don’t need to add anything else as it does not install on your computer and you can run this off from a USB drive. See more information below for more information about the software as it can also be used with LAME encoder which is also on this website.

CDex is one of the most used programs when it comes to ripping CD’s. The programs comes completely bundled with other encoders to ensure that you have all the options wrapped into one. The CDex comes bundled with the LAME MP3 Encoder, Ogg Vorbis as well as the Monkey’s Audio encoder. You can now simply download one file and use it with all these encoders already located in the bundle of software. There is no need to download anything else with the CDex. Many people do prefer to have a bundle to download.

The Audiograbber which is at version 1.83.1 which was the last version made of the software. You can use Audiograbber to rip your CD’s while using LAME as the encoder for the software. Audiograbber is mainly a GUI for those who do not wish to use the command line of the Lame encoder. There area a number of GUI’s for the LAME encoder such as LameXP, LameDropXPd or RazorLame. The LameXP is rather widely used in the open source world.

RazorLame is another GUI interface for the LAME encoder which is on this website here. Not everyone like to use a command line software however the best software is still open source and mainly used on Linux. RazorLame much like other GUI interfaces for Lame makes the software usable for Windows users. You will need to download the software below as well as the LAME encoder. There a number of other GUI interfaces such as LameXP as well as LameDropXPd.

LameFE is another GUI for use with the LAME encoder which you can find here. LameFE is no longer being developed and you might want to consider a few other options. These are LameXP as well as LameDropXPd which is also on this website. The software was last updated in 2007 when Vista came out to market. The software has not been updated since then so it might not work on operating systems after the Vista release in 2007.

There are a number of GUI interfaces for LAME. You can run a GUI for LAME such as LameXP as well as the one listed below being LameDropXPd.

LAME has come a long way and the updated or update of LAME is now available. There has not been much work done on it over the years. LAME was originally developed under the acronym LAME Ain’t an Mp3 Encoder. It originally started as a mere patch for the dist10 ISO demonstration source. After this it took on a life of its own as it was not able to produce an mp3 stream or even being compiled by itself. That all changed in the year 2000.

If you have ever wondered what the different types of video formats there are then this should solve that question. Some video formats are better than others and you will need to decide what quality of movie you want as the file size and compression ratios differ.

The most common question about Jpeg 2000 has been the advantages of the format. you can read about the Jpeg 2000 vs Jpeg on this website as well as a free Jpeg 2000 viewer which is widely used by the science community.

As I have written here the Jpeg 2000 format is not new, just not used as much as people do not really know about it. Below you can compare what happens to the picture quality of the Jpeg when it is converted and compressed.

The JP2 image format is an image file extension which is not very common as yet. You could view the Jpeg 2000 as the next generation of file formats that will come as the JPEG 2000 has many advantages over the normal Jpeg format.

The JPEG 2000 is not a codec but a picture format. You can download a free Jpeg 2000 viewer below which the US Ge logical Service has recommended. The program called HiView Image Viewer was developed by the University of Arizona as comes in Windows and Linux options.

If you wish to play a MKV file then your best bet will be installing the Haaili Matroska Splitter which is available on this website. The MKV format has not been updated since 2013 and development on the codec has since stopped.

Most common problem today is video camera recordings. Many people make use of the GMP4 format for their camera recordings. Playing GMP4 formats are covered on this website here. Now converting the file is another issue and you might want to send the video file to someone who does not have the codec. Converting it first would help.
